Companies positioned for GDPR
Some Companies are better positioned for GDPR than others. Here are the big ones to keep on your radar:
1. InCountry
InCountry touts itself as a”information residency-as-a-service” platform that helps international companies store customer data locally.
2. OneTrust
Atlanta-based OneTrust is a data privacy management compliance platform that, similar to InCountry, was established to help businesses adhere to the growing array of regulations around the world, including GDPR and CCPA. OneTrust offers various tools for marketers, including cookie compliance, mobile app compliance, and consent management, in addition to risk-management and breach response tools.
3. TrustArc
TrustArc, which raised a $70 million round of funding a few weeks back, develops data protection, certification, and compliance products for enterprises — its platform is about helping companies monitor risk around regulations and identify gaps across various regulatory frameworks.
Similar to OneTrust, TrustArc can also handle cookie consent preferences for GDPR and facilitate processes for marketing campaigns, including user consent for outbound emails.
4. Privitar
London-based Privitar, helps enterprises engineer privacy protection into their data projects, allowing them to leverage large, sensitive data sets while complying with regulations and ethical data principles.
Among the company’s products is Privitar Lens, designed to help companies build “privacy-preserving access to sensitive data sets.” They also offer Privitar Publisher, which offers “privacy engineering” smarts such as data-masking and k-anonymity
Privitar also offers SecureLink, a data-linking system designed to circumvent data silos among organizations and encourage companies to share information securely with each other.
5. BigID
BigID was founded in 2016, just as Europe was finalizing GDPR.
The New York-based startup helps enterprises protect customer and employee data, using machine learning to automatically find sensitive data held on internal servers and databases, analyze it, de-risk it, and ensure that organizations are complying with data protection regulations. The platform makes it easier for large companies, which may hold petabytes of customer information, to uncover “dark” or uncatalogued data and correlate it to a specific user identity.
The BigID platform also helps companies track cross-border data flows and can generate customized data access reports.
PII Compliance offers compliance monitoring across multiple channels against an ever changing landscape of security threats and legal policies.
